Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Don't put all all Ladybird devs in the same basket, there's currently more than 1000 contributors.

Ok, Andreas Kling said some untasteful things a few years ago when it was mostly his project, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss the whole project for this reason now.

I'm not disagreeing on them being in a tough spot when they try making money, but the corporate side of Mozilla does some shady financial stuff, only to pay their CEO.

Damn, you're shilling hard!

I don't want to use my phone for basic features like the offline mode, I'm not always connected to the internet on my laptop, that's it.

I don't care about Apple music, and almost every streaming platform provides some kind of SDK. It doesn't change the fact that I don't have a Linux client, and probably never will (or at least feature-complete) because they partly use Dolby Atmos, which is a closed-source licensed format.

And no, even on paper, tidal's not the better option to support artists. Buy tracks on Bandcamp, buy merch and vinyl directly from artists...

I really wanted to like tidal, but honestly it's not really good. The search sucks, no offline mode on desktop, no official Linux client, an incomplete catalog...

It's not worth it, even if they are the least bad for paying artists.

Here's a great article about that
